Wesley Enoch: How Australian theatre tamed a wild child and helped him take on the worl
How the theatre tamed a wild child and helped him take on the world
Wesley was a violent child who was expelled from school more than once until a teacher took him under her wing and introduced him to acting.
Wesley credits the theatre with turning his life around completely, and he became a prolific playwright and director.
His plays include the award-winning 7 Stages of Grieving, which he wrote with Deb Mailman.
Wesley made a vow to himself he would become Artistic Director of the Queensland Theatre Company by the time he was 40.
It was a dream he accomplished in 2010, making him the first Indigenous Australian to head a state theatre company.
First broadcast October 2010
